Food for Thought: Grill up a storm as the weather gets warm Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Apr. 28, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Apr. 28, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News TIP OF THE WEEK If the idea of longer, warmer days has you reaching for the tongs, it’s time to get your grilling game on before the season is in full swing. Serving family and friends the most mouth-watering grilled entrees with ease requires a little know-how and a few crowd-pleasing recipes. For the best results on the grill, keep these tips in mind: _ A grill is not an oven, so don’t walk away from it when it’s on. Organize what you’ll need ahead of time; no running back and forth. _ Always scrape hot grill grates clean with a wire brush so food will release more easily. Before cooking, try using tongs to dip paper towels lightly into oil and swipe over the grates. _ If the meat or skin sticks, it’s not ready to be turned. Let it sit for another minute or two. _ Try chicken thighs, which have a deeper, richer flavor than breast meat. _ The pork tenderloin can withstand the dry heat of the grill and stay moist. _ Salmon, tuna and swordfish steaks grill well because they are thick and crumble less than other types of fish.
